Library Friends to have evening of story telling

FAIRHAVEN — The Friends of the Millicent Library will feature a special evening of story telling on October 26, Friday, at 7:00 p.m, at the Millicent Library, to be held in the Lewin Reference Room.

"Tales Best Told in the Dark" will feature a 15 minute dramatic presentation of Edgar Alan Poe's classic short story, "The Tell-tale Heart". This performance by David Mello, is taken directly from the text of Poe's chilling tale of murder and madness, in which a guilt-ridden, nameless killer, desperately tries to convince the listener of his sanity, despite his horrendous deed.

The evening will also feature the famous South Alabama tale, "The Hole That Will Not Stay Filled" a true ghost story set during the civil war, and the story of, "The Golden Arm", said to be Mark Twain's favorite ghost story. The evening will end with Mr. Mello sharing some tips for conjuring and warding off ghosts, taken from popular folklore.

The program is for adults and young adults, and is not intended for young children. The library will not be open for regular business after 6:00 p.m. The program is free and open to the public.
